\"I don\'t get it, so this horse COMM, can\'t ever run along with other horses ever?? What is Nick going to do now??\"
He\'s obviously a very talented horse and if he\'s still sound he\'s going to beat a lot very good horses in the future. He may eventually even learn to rate and relax (which will help). The real point that CTC and I agree on is that horses like this are often not as good as they look and you don\'t find that out until they get hooked. That goes double when you switch the condition from favorable to unfavorable.
